Samuel in the Clouds

Synopsis

Samuel, a ski lift operator in Bolivia, reflects on the rapid changes in the mountains he has known throughout his life. As glaciers melt, he witnesses the decline of the snow that has supported his family for generations. While scientists measure the environmental crisis, Samuel honors the ancient mountain spirits integral to his heritage. The film captures his connection to the land and the shifting climate, as clouds drift by, marking the passage of time and the loss of a way of life.
